If you have been following this blog at all (hi Mom!), you have probably noticed that we are kinda into the arts. We at Cupcake Royale are firm believers that art is a real good thing for every community. Whether you grew up in a house decked out in obscure Picasso originals, or just some super sweet doodles on the fridge. It's all cool. Whether you like to be standin' and starin' and contemplatin' a piece for hours, or you prefer to give her a good once over, note the pretty colors, and move on, you should come to the Henry this Friday for their Open House party with art, food, booze, and yes, cupcakes!

Here are some things to entice you:

• Open bar and wine bar

• Music and projections by Leeni

• Food by Lark

• Honey Peanut Brittle babycakes...from Cupcake Royale

*** And...The Brink award will be announced at 8PM. The Brink is new to the Henry under director Sylvia Wolf. It will be awarded every year to an up-and-coming artist of Washington, British Columbia, or Portland, and comes with a $12,500 solo exhibition and an acquisition of work. We like the sounds of that.

BONUS! First person to email art@cupcakeroyale.com with the name of a famous "Art" gets a free admit-two pass to the party. That means a person of celebrity status named Art, and no Garfunkels. That's too easy.

All the galleries are open.

Member and Patron Preview: 6-7:30PMGeneral Admission: 7:30-10PM

$10 / $8 Students and Seniors / FREE to Henry Members

UPDATE: We have our winner! Congratulations Kirsten Terry. And she could not have answered more hilariously:

Art Bell! Host of creepy conspiracy radio show Art Bell Coast to Coast.

UPDATE #2: Daily Candy agrees, this party is where it's at for the weekend! Click HERE to read their blurb on it...complete with a mention of our sweet, sweet cakes.
